If you plan to buy a high-end SUV, then comfort and class are two factors that are very important to you. That's why you deserve to drive the all-new Lexus RX. Available at our Lexus dealership near Fort Lauderdale, FL, this is the epitome of a luxury sport utility vehicle, and it easily outpaces competing models like the 2016 Acura MDX.

Interior & Design

The 2016 Lexus RX makes no attempt to hide the fact that it's a vehicle for those with a taste for the finer things. Available features like heated and ventilated front seats, bolstered sport seats and a heated leather trimmed steering wheel instantly demonstrate its sophistication.Other standard and available perks include a panorama glass roof, dual-zone climate control, the 15-speaker Mark Levinson® Premium Surround Sound Audio System and semi-aniline perforated leather-trimmed seating. The Acura MDX, by comparison, has a mere 10-speaker sound system, no panoramic roof and less luxurious seating.

Technology & Safety

If you like the very latest technology money can buy, then you've made the right decision in selecting the new Lexus RX. The all-new and redesigned 2016 Lexus RX can be outfitted with an available 12.3-inch high-resolution multimedia display screen, a dual-screen rear-seat entertainment system, race-inspired instrumentation and more. In addition, you get a number of other features through the exclusive Lexus Enform App Suite. You're also well protected as you drive your Lexus thanks to all of the powerful safety technologies at your command. The RX can be equipped with an impressive number of protective features, granting you peace of mind no matter where you're traveling next. If you add the Lexus Safety System+ to your vehicle, you'll enjoy features like Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Alert, All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, a Pre-Collision System and more. You can also steer confidently at all hours of the night
using the Intelligent High-Beam Headlamps. The 2016 Acura MDX offers collision-mitigating brakes and a lane keeping system, but can't grant you any of the other features.

Performance

You have no powertrain choices when it comes to Acura's MDX. A sole 290-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 is your only option, and the best fuel economy you can get will be 19 city and 27 highway mpg. By contrast, the impressive 2016 Lexus RX is available with two powerplants. Choose either the 3.5-liter 295-horsepower V6 that generates 28 highway mpg or the Atkinson-cycle V6 engine with Lexus Hybrid Drive that has 308 horsepower and a combined fuel economy rating of 30 mpg. You can also tap into the power of the Drive Mode Select system, which lets you switch between Sport S, Sport S+, Normal, ECO and EV modes on the fly, based on your present needs and driving preferences.
